Linda and Petra talk about what it’s like at BEA and give us a peek at what books we can read later this year. Glen talks about the book parties, and tells a story about cornering Junot Diaz and Chris Ware at one soiree. Then they’ll talk about grieving and what pieces of media helped them work through the grieving process. All that plus What’s Making Us Happy this week.
